Routing to Other Mix Busses
The principles of forward and reverse bus routing can be
applied to any mix bus – Aux, Group, Master or Matrix.
However, only Auxes and Matrix outputs have a separate send
level. For more details on Mix Bus Sends see Page 141.
Summary
There are many ways of working, and the table on Page 138
describes exactly what each Fader or Smart Panel controller
will adjust when different channel types are selected.
However, if most of the time you are mixing to your Master (PA
output) and only occasionally working with Reverse Assign,
follow these simple rules:
1.
Set up your bus routing using either Forward or Reverse
assign; you can set any starting send levels as you go!
Once you are mixing, take care with the
SEL
buttons as follows:
2.
For Front of House mixing keep an input channel
selected most of the time.
This way your Input, Group, Master and Matrix faders are
always controlling their main mix and output levels.
3.
Switch to Reverse bus assign when you want to quickly
set up a mix to an aux – press
SEL
on the aux and set
your mix from the input faders.
4.
When you are finished, press
SEL
on any Input fader to
return to the normal main level input fader mode.
Fader Mode Preferences
If you wish you can change the fader mode from the
General
Preferences
window, see Page 341. The options are:
•
Dual
– as described above; when an Aux is selected,
Input faders act as aux sends. Conversely, when an
Input is selected, Aux faders control the aux sends.
•
In
- Input channel faders
always
control main level and
not Aux send level.
•
Aux
- Aux channel faders
always
control Aux master
level and never Aux send levels.
